Iqbal’s poetry is the first inspiration of every Pakistani, and it has deep meaning inside, which we need to understand. Today we are in a dire need of learning the meaning of ‘Khudi’, and this was his message which leads to the creation of Pakistan. Iqbal says,
I have observed the kingly majesty on the
faces of the slaves.
Mahmud’s splendour is visible in the dust of
Ayaz.
Abhi Ishq k Imtihan Aur Bhi Hain
sitaaron se aage jahaan aur bhii hain
abhii ishq ke imtihaa.N aur bhii hain
kanaa’at na kar aalam-e-rang-o-bu par
chaman aur bhii, aashiyaa.N aur bhii hai.n
agar kho gayaa ek nasheman to kyaa Gam
maqaamaat-e-aah-o-fugaan aur bhii hain
tuu shahii.n hai parwaaz hai kaam teraa
tere saamane aasmaan aur bhii hain
Our Ishq Pakistan is facing imtihan, and Iqbal’s above poetry gave a clear vision that there is no need to be disappointed, we will bounce back as a nation and this is one thing I am sure of.

Dear Mariam, your poetic taste is simply amazing and admirable. You have a very refined and outstanding poetic taste. I do really appreciate your taste.
In fact “Abhi Ishq k Imtihan Aur Bhi Hain” is one of my favourites. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes and Take Care.
We will bounce back, Inshallah.

Your ishq with Pakistan, and Pakistan’s ishq with the LET, JEM, Taliban & co. you mean …….. ?
Romanticism alone can not undo the decades of misdeeds…..
there is no magic-wand, no silver bullet, no quick-fix…..
you Pakistanis need a serious re-think, course correction and prepare for a long cold road ahead ……
